Haarlem Lake

Haarlem Lake, now drained, lay between Haarlem, Leyden, and Amsterdam, and communicated with the Zuider Zee by the Y. Originally it embraced four small lakes, which, in consequence of several irruptions of the sea, eventually merged into one sheet of water, covering an area of about 70 sq. m., and not above 15 feet deep. The lake, however, frequently rose during storms to an alarming height, necessitating a large annual outlay in keeping the dams and sluices in repair. In consequence of the damage done to Amsterdam and Leyden by two overflows of the lake in 1836, the government set about draining it (1839-52). The enterprise cost £1,080,000, but the sale of the lands reduced this by £780,000.
